Google Street View Hyperlapse Creates A Virtual Tour Of Your Route

If you enjoy using Google Street View you are sure to enjoy this new Google Street View Hyperlapse service which has been created by Toronto-based design firm Teehan+Lax.

Google Street View Hyperlapse allows you to virtual travel along a route either using pre-made routes created by the company or creating your very own using their web based Google Street View Hyperlapse service. Watch the video after the jump to see the Google Street View Hyperlapse technology in action.

Teehan+Lax explain a little more about how their Google Street View Hyperlapse technology works :

“Hyper-lapse photography – a technique combining time-lapse and sweeping camera movements typically focused on a point-of-interest – has been a growing trend on video sites. It’s not hard to find stunning examples on Vimeo.

Creating them requires precision and many hours stitching together photos taken from carefully mapped locations. We aimed at making the process simpler by using Google Street View as an aid, but quickly discovered that it could be used as the source material. It worked so well, we decided to design a very usable UI around our engine and release Google Street View Hyperlapse.”
